endoscopy, part II

I talked to Jeanne this afternoon. When she initially talked to the doctor at 9:30 this morning all signs pointed to the second procedure being a success. However, in the meantime Dad vomited again. Not good.

We're now waiting to find out the next course of action. Surgery to restore flow through the intestine is a possibility although removing the tumor entirely is not an option. Apparently the tumor's proximity to many tiny blood vessels would make the surgery too risky.
